100 Word Story – Police Blotter – Slosh, slosh

Here’s another 100 word story based on an item in the police blotter of my hometown of Burlingame, CA.  As always, the actual police blotter item, along with a link to the page it’s located on, follows the story.  Hope you enjoy these!  If so, please tell a friend.

Slosh, Slosh
By Grant Baciocco

Slosh, slosh.

The sound that woke Lorraine from a deep sleep.  She held her breath.

Slosh, slosh.

She sat bolt upright in bed and looked towards her bedroom door.

Slosh, Slosh.

It was louder now.  She swung her feet over the edge of the bed and jammed them into her slippers.  Grabbing her robe, it was on her by the time she reached the end of the hallway.

SLOSH, SLOSH.

She screamed.  Sure whatever horrible creature was making the sound was at her front door.  She threw open the door and there stood a man with a mop.

Slosh, slosh.
